This is a binder-free pelletization process allows for the processing of crystalline powder, porous oxide materials into industrially relevant pellet shaped pieces with no reduction in sorption capacity or accessible surface area of the porous oxide material.

Primary Application Area: Materials & Chemical

Technology Development Status: Prototype

Technology Readiness Level: TRL 5

FIGURES OF MERIT

Value Proposition: This technology is durable and easily applied to a wide range of industrially relevant porous materials in catalysis, separations and environmental cleanup. The resultant pelletization process does not interfere with porosity or sorption abilities. Heavy interest and promotion for nuclear fuel reprocessing and nuclear cleanup (legacy waste and reactor accidents).
